New Alexandria was a metropolitan city located at Eposz on the human colony world of Reach.[2]
History
Unlike on Earth, where most cities have grown across the centuries, Reach's cities were "planned communities"; the buildings and infrastructure were designed and built into a cohesive urban habitat from the start.[3] Three space elevators were located near the city.
The city became the target of a Covenant attack during the Fall of Reach in 2552, resulting in the five-day Siege of New Alexandria. Although civilian transports successfully evacuated the city thanks to the efforts of Noble Six, the city was ultimately glassed by the Covenant.
